Methods to Increase Testosterone Naturally

This article will outline the most effective ways to increase your testosterone naturally (without injecting it). People who inject 600mg per week of testosterone have triple the muscle gains of regular trainees. While natural methods will bring your testosterone nowhere close to levels seen in injecting trainees, you can still improve your testosterone significantly and in turn your results, through natural methods. Read on to see the most effective ways.

Effective Methods

Vitamin D: If your Vitamin D levels are less than 50 nmol/l, supplementing with 83 µg Vitamin D per day for a year results in a 20% increase in testosterone. [2]

Lifting Weights: If you’re not already lifting, lifting heavy 3 times per week for 10 weeks will increase your testosterone by 20%. [3]

Watching Sexually Explicit Movies: Testosterone is increased by 35% on average for some hours after watching the movie, with testosterone peaking 1 to 1.5 hours after the movie ends. [4]

Sleeping Well: Sleeping only 5 hours per night for a week results in 10-20% lower testosterone levels than sleeping 10 hours per night. Testosterone peaks while you’re asleep, so you probably gain a lot of your muscle while sleeping. [5]

Conclusion

Combining several of these methods can increase your testosterone significantly, from 400 ng/dl to 600 ng/dl for example. Far from the 3000+ ng/dl levels of a person who injects testosterone, but still a good improvement. If you know of more methods, leave them in the comments.
